Join a Steering Group

To ensure residents voices remain at the forefront of the delivery of this project, we have established Steering Groups to work in partnership with our three members of staff.

Talk to Carly to find out more about joining the Commissioning Management Group (decision making around our partnerships with other organisations and outsourcing some of our delivery work to professionals who are already doing great stuff in the local area) or our Enterprise, Employment and Training Group (planning and building upon initiatives to support local people in the area of training and employment with an emphasis on entrepreneurship).

During 2017/18 Big Local will be funding youth provision, if you are interested in being part of the decision making process get in touch with Carly.
